First PD holiday
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:31 am
Hi all.
I've booked my first holiday since I started on PD, a two night lad's trip to the Costa Brava. My nurse is arranging Baxters to deliver two boxes of fluid to the hotel. I usually do APD, but shall be doing manual changes for this. I thought that I would post on here to check that I haven't forgotten anything.
My nurse has lent me a flight bag that doubles as a mains bag warmer. I should be getting a letter explaining my condition to whoever needs to know. She has also given me some small bottles of hand gel. I guess that thorough hand washing with a different soap will suffice. One of my boxes will be of extraneal so that I can go longer between some exchanges. I have told my hotel to expect the delivery. My nurse suggested putting the empty bags in the ordinary hotel waste, but I guess I could take one of my usual disposal sacks. So with my meds, bag clamps and connectors, I'm hoping to get away with just that one flight bag. Anything that I have forgotten?
